Brentwood Farmers Market Back On

No samples, no touching! The Brentwood Farmers Market has been given the green light to proceed with measures in place to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19).

The City of Los Angeles Bureau of Street Services (Street Services) has given the Brentwood Farmers Market – Sundays from 9 a.m. – 2 p.m. at 741 Gretna Green Way – approval to operate with implemented measures to protect vendors and the public from exposure to COVID-19. This comes after Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti suspended farmers markets on Monday in response to public safety concerns over crowds last weekend.

Under the COVID-19 operational plan approved by Street Services, the Brentwood Farmers Market, and farmers markets within the City, must adhere to the following measures:

One separate entry with one separate exit

Provide clear signage (stating Covid-19 symptoms) at the entrance asking any one with these symptoms to stay away

Control number of customers entering to allow for physical distancing. Create a system for physical distancing to cue at entry

Provide sufficient hand washing and hand sanitizing station with clear direction to the public

No touching of food by customers. No tasting of food or handing out samples
